Sox Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 This is from an article in the Cincinnati Enquirer. WASHINGTON WATCHERS: A group of the small-market owners is keeping an eye on how NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue might punish the Washington Redskins. If no extension is reached in the collective bargaining agreement by 10 p.m. today, the salary cap will be $94.5 million for the 2006 season. Several owners believe the Redskins can't get under a $98 million cap because they have so much amortization left on signing bonuses. The Redskins remain in a dire situation even after saving $3 million on a reworked contract for quarterback Mark Brunell. The club faces a hefty fine and/or forfeiture of draft picks. Coach Joe Gibbs might have to field a team of minimum-salary players and rookies. Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I've read that Tagliabue has pretty wide latitude in what he can assign as penalties, there isn't a set formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or make them take Deion Sanders back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a lot of sympathy for Snyder to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalboyd Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 If a agreement isnt reached I wonder how is Al Saunders - OC feeling. And then Joe Gibbs. Will he retire. Or play this yr out and quit. What are your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
